Document Summary
Define each of the following terms: nucleic acid, dna, rna, nucleotide, nucleoside, deoxynucleotide, base, purine, pyrimidine, antiparallel, bp, kb, oligonucleotide, b-dna, stacking interactions, melting temperature, denaturation, renaturation, anneal: nucleotides. Name and distinguish between the two sugars that are incorporated into nucleotides. Number the carbon atoms in the sugar portion of a nucleotide. Name all nucleosides and nucleotides that contain the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. Compare the structure of nucleosides with the structure of nucleotides. Name, recognize and be able to draw the five major bases found in the nucleic acids. Number atoms in the purine and pyrimidine rings of the bases found in rna and dna: the primary structure of nucleic acids. Explain why nucleic acids are said to have a sense of direction. Write and read base sequences in nucleic acids. Identify the 5" and 3" ends of a nucleic acid base sequence. Describe and compare the primary structure of rna and dna.
